Χωριάτικη Καυουρμάς (Choriatiki Kavourmas)
Bring the flavors of the Mediterranean to your table with this simple yet hearty dish that will warm your heart and soul!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
While the oven is heating up, peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Think about a size that will cook through nicely in about 45 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the potatoes, chopped red bell pepper, diced onion, crushed garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the mixture and toss it all together until everything is well-coated. This will bring out the Mediterranean flavors beautifully.
Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake it in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. This will help to lock in all the juices and flavors.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and add crumbled feta cheese on top of the dish. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
Once done, take it out of the oven, and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and flavor. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
